Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing candesartan cilexetil having improved stability and a method for preparing the same,

The present invention relates to a solid preparation for oral administration with improved stability comprising candesartan cilexetil and a method for producing the solid preparation.

Candesartan belongs to the Angiotensin II receptor blocker and is a therapeutic agent for circulatory diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, stroke, stroke and nephritis. Candesartan has excellent efficacy, but its absorption rate by oral administration is very low. Therefore, prodrug candesartan cilexetil has been developed, and candesartan cilexetil has been released from the candesartan cilexetil while being absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract. Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > and / or < / RTI > The compound of the candesartan is 2-ethoxy-1 - [[2 '- (1H-tetrazol-5-yl) biphenyl-4-yl] methyl] -1H-benzimidazole-7- , And the compound of the candesartan cilexetil is (±) -1 - [[(cyclohexyloxy) carbonyl] oxy] ethyl- Yl) [1,1'-biphenyl] -4-yl] methyl] -1H-benzimidazole-7-carboxylate.

Candesartan cilexetil is a white to off-white powder and is almost insoluble in water and methanol. In addition, it is known that the stability is drastically lowered by tablet pressures and heat generated in the process of forming tablets. Therefore, a technique for improving the stability of candesartan cilexetil and improving the bioavailability by physical changes during tablet molding A number of studies have been carried out.

Korean Patent Application No. 1992-0021902, for example, discloses a method for improving the stability of candesartan cilexetil using a hydrocarbon having a low melting point, higher fatty acids, higher alcohols, fatty acid esters of polyhydric alcohols, higher ethers of polyhydric alcohols, Oxides, or copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. ≪ Desc / Clms Page number 2 > However, when such an ointment is prepared by mixing, the release characteristics of candesartan cilexetil, which is poorly soluble, are not constantly controlled by the influence of the remnant materials, which causes a disadvantage in that there is a large variation among individuals upon administration.

Also, U.S. Patent Publication No. 2008-01188564 describes a method for preventing the degradation of active ingredients during tableting by mixing carrageenan, a hydrophilic colloid-forming material, with a stabilizing agent in a process immediately before tableting. However, the use of carrageenan to form such a hydrophilic colloid gel has a disadvantage in that it is difficult to reproduce the release of a certain drug since the initial drug release is delayed from the tablet, and there is a disadvantage that the granules containing candesartan cilexetil and the carrageenan It is difficult to guarantee uniform mixing.

Candesartan cilexetil is not very compatible with each additive, and storage stability is also poor. The compatibility with the additives means the compatibility of the candesartan cilexetil with the respective additives, and it refers to the effect of additives such as candesartan cilexetil, as well as physical and chemical effects due to additives, as well as ease of taking. In order to stabilize the unstable candesartan cilexetil, crystallinity must be prevented from being broken by external factors. In addition, the stability of candesartan cilexetil pharmaceutical compositions is associated with desethylcandesatan or a variety of other degradation products, an increase in the level of desethylcandesate produces unstable or less stable formulations.

Accordingly, the inventors of the present invention conducted studies to overcome the above problems, and as a result, it was confirmed that the stability of candesartan cilexetil can be maintained by adjusting the range of Loss on Drying (LOD) The present invention has been completed.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a solid preparation for oral administration containing candesartan cilexetil having improved stability and a preparation method thereof.

More specifically, one object of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition comprising candesartan cilexetil or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable additive, wherein the improvement in stability with an LOD of 3.5 to 4.5% And to provide a solid preparation for oral administration.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a method for preparing the solid preparation for oral administration with improved stability.

The present invention relates to a solid preparation for oral administration containing candesartan cilexetil having improved stability and a method for producing the same.

The present invention has revealed that the stability of candesartan cilexetil in candesartan cilexetil-containing preparations depends on the water content in the preparation, and particularly when the LOD value is 3.5% or more, Is remarkably reduced and stability is improved. Accordingly, the present invention provides a solid preparation for oral administration comprising candesartan cilexetil having a LOD of not less than 3.5%, more preferably not less than 3.5% and not more than 4.5%, and a method for producing the same.

In a specific embodiment, the present invention relates to a composition comprising a candesartan cilexetil or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable additive, wherein the stability-improved oral dosage form has an LOD of 3.5 to 4.5% To a solid preparation for administration.

As used herein, the term "candesartan cilexetil" refers to a prodrug form of candesartan, a hypertension treating agent belonging to angiotensin II-receptor antagonist, and the compound name of candesartan cilexetil is (±) -1 - [[(2'- (1H-tetrazol-5-yl) [1,1'-biphenyl] -4- Yl] methyl] -1H-benzimidazole-7-carboxylate. Methods for producing candesartan cilexetil can be found in European Patent Publication Nos. 459,136, 5,578,733 and US 2005/0250827.

Candesartan cilexetil is administered intravenously and is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, while cilexetil is liberated and transformed into the active candesartan. In the present invention, candesartan cilexetil can be used to have a therapeutically effective amount per unit dosage form and is preferably prepared to contain from about 2 mg to about 40 mg, and preferably from about 4 mg to about 32 mg, per unit dosage form, For example, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 mg.

Candesartan cilexetil raw materials are stable under ordinary storage conditions, but candesartan cilexetil is very unstable due to various factors (temperature, pressure, suitability with additives, etc.) in the process of formulation into tablets. The present inventors have conducted various studies to stabilize unstable candesartan cilexetil by preventing crystallization from being broken due to external factors. As a result, the stability of candesartan cilexetil in candesartan cilexetil- It was confirmed that it depends on the water content in the preparation.

In the present invention, Loss on Drying (LOD) means the total amount of water, crystal water and other volatile substances in a specimen which is lost when dried. For example, the LOD value in the present invention is a value obtained by measuring the reduced water content, the number of crystals, and the weight ratio of other volatile substances when the candesartan cilexetil formulation is dried at 105 ° C for 10 minutes. However, the LOD value is not necessarily measured only under the same conditions as described above, and the LOD value can be measured by different conditions depending on the physical properties and conditions of the sample. LOD can be measured using an infrared moisture analyzer and can be calculated according to the following equation. In the present invention, "%" used in connection with LOD means "% (w / w) ".

LOD (%) = (weight before drying - weight after drying) / weight before drying x100 (%)

The stabilizing agent of the present invention is characterized by having a loss on drying of 3.5% or more, more preferably 3.5 to 4.5%. For example, in the present invention, when the drying weight loss is 3.5% to 4.5%, it means that when the candesartan cilexetil is completely dried, the weight loss of the preparation is not less than 3.5% (w / w) and not more than 4.5% (w / w) do. As described above, in the specific embodiment of the present invention The drying weight loss was measured by drying at 105 ° C for 10 minutes, but the specific measuring conditions may vary depending on the physical properties and the state of the sample.

If the drying loss is less than 3.5%, the content of the softening material is high and the preparation is unstable. If the drying loss exceeds 4.5%, the content of the softening material decreases but it is not preferable. In the case of the commercially available candesartan cilexetil tablet (BLOPRESS®), the loss on drying is 2.0 ± 0.6%. In comparison, the present invention is characterized in that it provides a more stable candesartan cilexetil formulation by up-regulating the loss of dry weight .

In addition, the stabilizing agent of the present invention preferably has a hardness of less than 9.0 Kp, preferably 3.0 to 8.0 Kp, and more preferably 5.0 to 7.8 Kp.

The pharmaceutically acceptable additives included in the formulation of the present invention may include at least one selected from the group consisting of a plasticizer, an excipient, a binder, a disintegrant, a lubricant, and a colorant.

As the plasticizer, a polyvinyl alcohol-polyethylene glycol graft copolymer is preferable. Since the polyvinyl alcohol-polyethylene glycol graft copolymer is a water-soluble polymer having excellent flexibility and adhesion, and is a copolymer of polyethylene glycol and polyvinyl alcohol having a linear molecular structure and being flexible, it is stable between candesartan cilexetil raw materials The topic can be played efficiently. In particular, it can be placed evenly between the candesartan cilexetil raw materials to reduce the problem of compatibility with the additive, and serves as a buffering agent and lubricant for tabletting, thereby reducing the generation of the flexible substance.

Preferably, the polyvinyl alcohol-polyethylene glycol graft copolymer is dissolved in a solvent of 20 to 50% and used alone or in combination with other binders, specifically polyvinylpyrrolidone having various K values, hydroxypropylcellulose, Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, and vinylpyrrolidonevinyl acetate copolymer, to bind the active ingredient together with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient in the form of a binding liquid at the time of granulation, And it is possible to provide the flexibility to cope with the change of the crystal form of the active ingredient due to the pressure applied at the time of tableting.
